I thought that the install_device argument to grub-install had to be a harddisk (to use the MBR) or a partition in which the grub image was installed. And I thought that grub detects the abstraction based on what /boot points to.

From looking at the GRUB 1.96 sources, I get the impression that this command line should be:
$ sudo grub-install /dev/mapper/Ubuntu-hardy64
in order for grub-probe to see the abstraction as GRUB_DEV_ABSTRACTION_LVM.
I could be majorly wrong, and this may have changed between 1.96 and the version that Cameron is using, but... I'm just trying to figure out how GRUB works. :^)
